The following is an unedited press release, shown as received from the company represented. We've elected to present selected releases without editorial comment, as a way to provide our readers more information without further overtaxing our limited editorial resources. To avoid any possible confusion or conflict of interest, the Imaging Resource will always clearly distinguish between company-provided press releases and our own editorial views and content.

Transcoding is very time-consuming and computationally intensive, and consumers have to spend hours to complete the process. By leveraging the Intel® Media SDK®, CyberLink PowerDirector and MediaEspresso now offer ultra-fast transcoding capability via Intel® Quick Sync Video® for consumers to enjoy up to 10x speedup in performance, significantly reducing wait time.

The refresh of YouCam will enable real-time transcoding from MJPEG HD Webcam to H.264 HD Stream with effects, such as headgear, Augmented Reality and all the interactive particle effects, allowing users to create unique webcam videos, record them in fantastic quality and speed and share them to the most popular online communities.
